Exterior
The really large box has an impressive amount of accessories inside. Of course the USB cable is here, we have a TV-out wire, a stereo headset that can be taken apart and it has a remote, and we have the first charger in the history of Nokia smartphones that doesn’t have the old, needle-like plug, but it has microUSB connection, hooray! Besides these we have an 8 GB SDHC card inside the phone, which caused me some problems as my good old card reader simply didn’t detect it.
At a first glance N85 itself is no breakthrough in design. It looks quite much like N81, about which we don’t have very fantastic memories, but it has a cleaner design. The shiny black plastic collects fingerprints rather efficiently and it’s even a bit slippery. On the sides we can observe a bit rougher surface, but the back is shiny again and its pattern, layout and the materials used are exactly the same as we have seen on N79, but this time it even has some play.
The cover doesn’t have much stuff on it, but we could say it’s clean. The QVGA resolution display has a diagonal of 2.6”, which is more than enough. Below it the massive black shine is broken only by the call handling keys, the navigation key’s silver frame and the multimedia key. Anyway, if we slide the handset open it turns out that we have lot more buttons as a white light turns up to show the place of the menu, delete and the function keys.
The cover can be slid in two directions. When sliding it upwards we get to see the numeric keys, which are pretty crowded and they’re not even separated vertically, and although the overall impression is not bad, but I have pressed the wrong key quite a lot of times when typing. If we slide the cover downwards, we can access the multimedia keys like on N96. There are four of these, but only the middle two get lit by default. The backlight of the side keys turns on only if their functions become active. Such a case is music playback, where we can use these for seeking tracks, or when browsing pictures these are the keys that we can use for zooming.
We can see familiar keys on the sides of the phone. Besides the microSD slot, everything is on the right side, we can see the volume control keys, the camera’s exposure key and the keylock slider. The bottom of the phone is completely smooth, but on the top there is a 3.5 mm jack and a microUSB connector, and, according to ancient Finnish customs, the profile-changer and power button is also placed here.
